The VPS is registered with Dedicated purpose.

Cause

convert_vps_to_host.py script is intended for VPS with shared type only. Dedicated VPS are not supposed to get converted.

Resolution

In case the VPS has dedicated type by mistake and actually holds some service to be converted to OA-managed service, follow these steps:

  1. Unregister the VPS
  2. Register the VPS again as a service node by going to Hardware Nodes > Add New Node > Linux Shared and providing the IP of the VPS.
